Finance Manager

Robert Half are working with a Leading Multinational in the Property and Workplace Services Space, known for delivering integrated solutions across a global client base. Following a period of sustained growth, the business has created a new Finance Manager position to oversee a growing client portfolio, partnering closely with operational teams to deliver financial performance and commercial insight.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on partnering with operational stakeholders and adding value through finance. You will take ownership of a portfolio of revenue-generating contracts, with responsibility for monitoring margins and driving profitability.

About the Position

Reporting to the Finance Director, you will be responsible for:

• Managing your own portfolio of clients and providing financial leadership across account and contract activity.
• Delivering monthly management accounts and performance reporting for your portfolio, including Principal Contracting-completing month-end processes, variance analysis, and detailed commentaries.
• Developing a strong understanding of each client's commercial model to ensure accurate billing, cost allocation, and optimal resource utilisation.
• Partnering with Operational Project Managers to support financial decision-making and performance tracking.
• Completing and reviewing balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and integrity.
• Managing costs, budgeting, and billing processes, identifying financial risks and operational opportunities.
• Supporting corporate planning cycles, including budgeting, reforecasting, and financial modelling.

What we’re looking for

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with a solid background in management accounting. This role carries significant month-end responsibilities, so recent hands-on experience and a willingness to be detail-oriented during the close process are essential.
• Strong commercial acumen with proven experience business partnering operational and non-finance stakeholders, providing insight, challenge, and decision support rather than simply reporting numbers.
• Demonstrated ability to translate financial information into clear, actionable commercial insight, supporting operational performance, margin improvement, and cost control.
• Experience working in contract-based or service-led environments (e.g. Facilities Management, Waste Management, Security, Cleaning, Catering) is desirable but not essential.
• Confident communicator able to build credibility with operational leaders, influence outcomes, and balance commercial focus with financial rigour.

Here’s what’s waiting for you

• Hybrid working model - 3 days per week in the office.
• Generous bonus scheme linked to the performance of your client portfolio.
• Private health insurance.
• A clear path for rapid career progression - with a UK finance team of over 200 and regular new client wins, opportunities to grow and step up are frequent.
• Regular team events, including socials and off-sites.

Why this role could be your next move

In this role, you will manage a portfolio of clients and play a key part in driving contract profitability, giving you direct impact on financial performance. You will gain significant exposure to business partnering with operational teams across the organisation. The company has ambitious growth plans and regularly secures new contracts, which often create fresh opportunities within the finance function. With a strong track record of internal promotion, many of the company’s senior finance leaders, including the Finance Director you will report to, have progressed from similar roles.

Robert Half is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Suitable candidates with equivalent qualifications and more or less experience can apply.
